Günter Tuzina, Darkness and Color: 15 October – 19 November 2022

The very refined relatively small paintings by Günter Tuzina show the inheritance of the minimalist idiom of the sixties and seventies. His rectangle sized paintings in mostly dark blue, red, and green colors look like windows. They are cut by expressive horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines. These lines and angles are not quite perfect, which give them an emotional significance. It contrasts sharply with the anonymous, industrial perfection of Minimal Art.
